Hi there. I’ve previously [shared a similar issue](https://talk.jekyllrb.com/t/gigthub-hosted-jekyll-on-gh-pages-taking-contents-and-posts-from-other-repositories/777), which I ended up solving in another way). I’m a teacher and use github pages for creating landing pages for a season course. I’d like to have a github page with all the \_posts in several github hostes sites. How do I do that? How do I tell jekyll to build a site putting together sevearl different contents? Thanks in advance for the reply. ---

This has been done before I see. Can you create two folders with posts directories like where it worked for this case? > > > Hello, > Currently I am rendering just one \_posts folder into one index.html. However, I would like to also render another \_poems directory... ---

Thanks Michael. My apologies I didnt’ explained the problem. I have repository A ([which is this one](https://github.com/OfficineArduinoTorino/ITS-Torino) / [Gh-pages](http://officinearduinotorino.github.io/ITS-Torino/schede/)) and repository B ([this](https://github.com/OfficineArduinoTorino/ITS-Torino-2016) / [Gh pages](http://officinearduinotorino.github.io/ITS-Torino-2016/schede/)). I want this and hipotethically N repositories to be rendered on a mother repository, that collects and possibly allow the tag research among all posts in the Schede folder (the post) . Is it now more clear? thanks in advance ---

There’s some prior art for pulling in content from other repos using git submodules. Google around, there are a few blog posts out there about it. Mostly used to separate content from layout, but you could likely adapt it to have each `_posts` repo as their own module that is pulled into a master repo. There’s also this new tool that allows you to pull content from various sources. What you want hasn’t been built yet but I believe the functionality is there to flesh it out. > **[stackbithq/sourcebit](https://github.com/stackbithq/sourcebit)** > > Sourcebit helps developers build data-driven JAMstack sites by pulling data from any third-party resource - stackbithq/sourcebit ---

Yes submodules would work great for this. Multiple repos existing as folders in another repo. Submodules are versions at a commit though so you’ll have to update the parent repo with a commit to get the latest child repos
